Wrong Josh
So, it turns out I don’t really have credentials. A case of mistaken identity. It’s my own fault, though. Like Spencer Ackerman just told me, when someone asks you if you’re Josh Marshall, you say yes!
I said no. I know, right? Where’s my sense of adventure?

Now you can sit by Michelle Malkin’s hospital bed and read Jonah’s book while she recuperates from the vicious attack she suffered at the hands of a loud version of the stapler guy from Office Space.

Tell the guards you’re John McCain’s secret physical, sexually, and emotionally abused gay son and you need to get in there and tell the world your horrible, sordid tale or being pimped out to the entire Republican leadership.

No one knows what that nimnul looks like, on or off the tube.
You should ALWAYS lie to Security Guards,
a) for your own amusement,
b) to stick it to The Man,
c) to validate their mall ninja self image.

Tell them you’re there to make a rush delivery for Josh Marshall. You have to drop off some blog parts or something. Fix a broken HTML tag.
Or you could just start telling everyone you wrote this comix and see how long before the real men in suits take to get there.
Um, NSFW, just sayin’.

All great suggestions, but he was trying to get into the DNCC. He shoulda told them that he was Osama bin Laden or a gay abortion provider or maybe just someone who hates America. That would’ve gotten him in like Flynn.

hey all, please click on my website (that would be my name above) and for the next hour you can enjoy the comic stylings of my wife. i’m pretty sure minds will be blown.
i’ve got to take it down after that as the non-viciously-retouched version of the image you will see is going to be the cover of a national magazine in two days.
enjoy.

You doofus.
Marshall is still NYC (as far as I know – Josh sent two reporters to the convention, but stayed home himself). You could have totally gotten away with it.
So sad….

Um…”Die, evil spammer”? I wrote a perfectly innocuous comment, and I was greeted by the same screen that Bin Laden will see in his last moments before descending into hell. Guys, is it time for a new comment system? You know, one that doesn’t treat your most loyal visitors like the ten most f***ing wanted?
Just a thought.

I have great difficulties turning down offers of enjoying someone else’s wife’s skills for an hour. The word “blown” also attracted my attention.
But in all seriousness – totally awesome. That last one – pure genius.

dude, let’s go over the rules again
rule number one, don’t talk about fight club
rule number two, whoever smelt it delt it
rule number three, when someone asks if you’re a God (or Josh Marshall*) YOU SAY YES
(* the less you look like brad pitt, the better chance you have of pulling this off) (and you should be able to get away with it)
rule number four, shuffle your feet you lose your seat
rule number five, if you bring the ODed chick to my house, you give her the shot
rule number six, don’t come over with less that a 12-pak of beer
rule number seven, the customer is never right
try and keep them straight, okay ???

HTML, if you can’t get into the convention, ya wanna go observe the Nader “rally” (with Ralphie himself being there, and rumors of Jello Biafra as well) tonight? I was given tickets (turnout has been desperately low so they want to fill the hall somehow); one’s yours if you want it and I can even give you a ride if you need it. Nader is a tool/spoiler and I’d never vote for him, but I’ll watch the show.
J Neo Marvin said,

Jello Biafra and Ralph Nader deserve each other. What a pair of irrelevant blowhards.
stringonastick said,
August 27, 2008 at 19:45
Yes, I think it will quite interesting. My friend who gave me the tickets seemed like a hard nosed realist, and then he comes up with this crap.
The good news is that ticket sales are much worse than expected, so apparently people aren’t falling for Nader’s astroturf anymore.

Unbelievable. 70 comments and I still get to say:
“Tell them you are. And if they get mad, say, “I WAS JUST JOSHING.”
Also, isn’t there a line in Ghostbusters that applies? Something like, “If someone asks if you’re a god, SAY YES.”
